The original *Mail* tool. Note not mail but 'Mail'
for example:
Mail -s <subject> $USER < <body-file> body-file to all usernames
in the file user-list-file
Not sure... do you just mean 'mail' from the mailx package?
I like 'mail' for quickly throwing off emails from programs and such, but I
don't think it fills this particular niche.
- something that emulates 'sendmail', so that mutt, pine, or any other email
client that doesn't do SMTP can use it.
- dumps the email into a queue to be flushed next time I'm online.
- I can flush the email to whatever SMTP is appropriate when I plug in.
In fact, looking at the man page, it would appear that 'mail' *uses* 'sendmail'
to deliver. So I don't think it can replace it. Or are you speaking of a
different program?
